Euro judges wrap Irish knuckles

The European Court of Justices has ruled an Irish government complaint to the United Nations about the Sellafield MOX Plant as illegal. The judges declared:“By bringing proceedings against the UK within the framework of the Convention on the Law of the Sea, Ireland has breached community law.”

They added that:“A breach of this nature involves a manifest risk that the jurisdictional order laid down in the Treaties and, consequently, the autonomy of the Community legal system may be adversely affected.”
